quitting

First of all, get rid of all your cutting paraphernalia: knives, razors, towels etc. Having them around will make relapse much more probable.

Second, devise a plan for when you get the urge to self-harm. You could call a friend, go for a walk or jog, work out, write in a diary, take a shower, anything that you enjoy and will help you to relieve the tension that leads to cutting.

You could also try identifying situations that are likely to elicit the urge to cut and prepare yourself for them or avoid them entirely.

If you do relapse, don’t beat yourself up over it; that will only make you more likely to fail. Just resolve to keep trying.
